>>>>>[Like Cable, I'm similarly new in town (or rather been out of town a
long time) and looking for shadow-work. I'm a rigger with plenty of
experience - some shadow-stuff, the fiasco in En. Gee., desert wars and
most recently a little armaments free trading, but both the emerald isle
and Cal Free state are a little too hot these days...... so its back to
Seattle after a decade away.
I may be slowing a little in my old age, but I'm fast as ever when
plugged in. I've also picked up a fair knowledge of electronics and
"combat-engineering" along the way.
Anyway - is anyone hiring? I can also supply a fair amount of
weaponary as the previous customers have other uses for their money - like
a good Japanese speaking lawyer.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Howdie all.

We're new in town, and were wondering if some of you friendly
Seattle folk would be willing to tell us a little about the town.
First, a quick scan of who we are:

I'm a combat decker. Cybered to the max as well. Decking is my
primary area of expertise, but in the last few years I've been
branching out into the "real world" as well. My partner is Dana, a
combat mage trained in astral support, spell locking and breaking, as
well as high level astral combat.

Our specialties are: Assasination (we do it anytime, anywhere), and
stalking (if the price is high enough, we'll span the globe). But we
also do backup, extraction (small scale), "demolitions", and the
standard run-of-the-mill drek.]<<<<<

We are good. Very good. We're here because a job went sour, and
sometimes it's good to get away from a problem before confronting it.

We have ten years of experience, that alone points to some degree
of competence. We spent that time working mostly for Sheppard-Intrepid.
If you heard about some of the corporate reshuffling that took place
when Intrepid Light Arms took over Sheppard Biotech then you've heard
of some of our work. We've done more work recently, but nothing that
needs to be mentioned here.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Gee. Thanks. Its been ages since I've been called a
"newbie",
but at least you're keeping me honest.

We are Jen and Gabe, we're both deckers, and we usually deck in
tandem. It just makes life a lot easier for both of us to use the same
account. After all, Jenna is EXTREMELY jelous, and she likes to read
all of my mail... Heh. No. We'll refrain from doing THAT. And it is a
joke. Although Gabriel is COMPLETELY paranoid... Sorry. Just a little
bit in the way of revenge. <^_^>

Just so you know our "vital statistics": we're both deckers, we're
both mages, I (Gabriel this time) am a fully qualified rigger, in the
fields of panzers, light vehicles and combat/reccy drones. No
satellite experience yet, but soon. Just give us time... Not to
mention we're fully decked out for full combat.

On the topic of accounts: we can divide ours up if you like.]<<<<<

WHOA!!! Hold the phone! Am I the only one here that has some problem
accepting _DECKER MAGES_?!! If so, someone please justify this to me.

Thank god. I thought it was just me. FINALLY!

It is sort of semi-justified-ish though... It was more sort of
fishing for trouble. Sorry... (although mages can apparently work with
Datajacks, I don't see why a mage can't deck *GHAAK!* I can't beleive
I just said that...). But this is to be justified... (I hope)

Numero uno, Brian S. most deckers tend to have lots of left over essence,
which means that the characters CAN be Mages as well. most likely the
characters started out as Mages then got into decking.

But I'm sure a pair with your qualifications can make a living here...
Coyote knows there's more than enough business these days. I'm just
a decker, and I did three jobs last week alone.

One word of advice: get references from some of the shadowfolk and it'll
make your social life much easier. I think we've got a few brits on
here, at last count.]<<<<<
